Ramesh,
We do expect a significant amount of applications though the actual number of scholarships in limited. I cannot give a number at present as it the final number depends on mathematical calculations.
The idea is to provide full or partial support to those Wikipedians who really want to attend but cannot afford it monetary wise. For those who can bear their own cost - of travel or accommodation or have someone they can stay with in Mumbai, we encourage them not to apply for scholarships or apply for part scholarships as necessary so that those who need it most can benefit from it.
In true Wikipedian spirit, we assume utmost good faith and request everyone applying for the scholarships to practice the same.
Kind Regards,
From: rameshng@gmail.com

Yes - but please let us not use this list for such private queries. We have a number of submissions, and the form seems to be working fine. If anyone has a general problem with making it work, that is a valid query for this list.
We need to step up the availability of the form in different languages, for which I urge listmembers here to please spread the word to the language lists. As a corollary to this, we need to be sure that the googledoc form will allow us to merge all the submissions in different languages, and if this feature is not possible, we need to evolve a process for harmonisation of the different spreadsheets/forms. People with expertise on using the forms feature on Google spreadsheets please do volunteer.
